Is that our version of when Marvel had their supervillains help with the 9/11 rescue efforts?
Immortal is a poor choice of word at this difficult time.

15% of people vaccinated roughly.
I knew Israel were doing well, but not that well and the UAE are flying too.
Both have the advantage of having various Unmentionables in the citizenry who they probably don't count as being in the population.
It takes a bit of getting your head around, but this is the graphic to look at where Israel is concerned (obviously they vaccinated the oldies first):

They are in lockdown because their overall cases are still pretty high (their third wave started a bit later than ours).
Makes sense. Have you got those charts for us?
Nope, a little bit early to say for us, and also won't be comparable as our vaccine drive really kicked in from 4/1 and also we are using a shitload of AZ - they are only using Pfizer with a shorter gap to 2nd dose.
In about 10-15 days we should have the beginnings of an idea whether this is replicated in UK.
Some good shit from Chinese Jimmy.
We got to be opening the clubs this year at some point, surely. Don't give me another winter of discontent.
And if saunas aren't open from 8 March, rest assured, I will, without fail, complain about it in here and call Giggles a cunt.
Oh god, I have a zoom call at that time. Are the participants going to stop and make me do it? Maybe I'll just have to clap for Matt Hancock, but say I'm doing it for Sir Captain Tom.
Has the Queen of Clapping approved this?
The state of change.org today. State funerals. Bank Holidays and bank notes. Statues in Trafalgar Square/Westminster Abbey. One maniac wants 2 February to be 'Saint Tom's Day', which is putting the cart before the horse a bit, and another demands 'A COLLOSAL [sic] statue in Memory of the Captain up there with the likes of Statue of Liberty'. How we have the balls to laugh at Americans is beyond me.
Almost all those things would cost the state coffers more than he raised for them.
Either him going for a stroll around the garden is being assigned more value than it's worthy of or I have been massively short changed for my own garden based exploits.
I'm Team Major Mick, with his superior service record, but nobody cared about him.
What a waste of time.

Enjoyed this one, which I think is genuine, via twitter:

I mostly missed all of the bullshit around him at the time by never watching TV or listening to the radio. I only learned yesterday that he actually had a number one single. What the fuck is going on? Why is this particular pensioner so special? Why has the country decided he needs celebrating so much?
I get that he raised money for charity, but haven't millions of people?
I feel so out of touch, I genuinely don't understand.
The unstoppable power of facebook mums and breakfast TV. I feel miles away from it too.
I think he timed his outstanding fundraising at a time when the country needed a good news story. Then he ruined his legacy with his lockdown breach in Barbados.
He doesn't seen to have been vaccinated. Was it because he was on the way out by that time?
Shame really. 10-15 years lost.
I am devastated by this news. I want the country renamed Great Britom and our Sir Captain Colonel made Eternal President.
Are they going to follow Wor Boris from this briefing to the clapping like a Goldberg entrance?

Here it comes already - the 'Tories vs Caution' dust-up I've been predicting for February. Choose your side and call the others cunts on twitter. It's going to get proper nasty, with vicious screaming from both sides. Ultimately the Tories are on the side of human instinct so can, and should, win.
Now that the 'single dose doesn't work thing' is dead, the next thing the Caution Crowd latch onto will be the control-based fantasy of zero covid (remember, rather than needing the pandemic to end like the rest of us, these guys need the government to fail). Meanwhile, on the other side, the always idiotic ERG seem to have no idea of the difference between COMPLETE NORMALITY and the life-enhancing freedoms that could be enjoyed with gradual easing of restrictions. As usual, the rest of us will be caught between both showers of shit.
My latest look at the numbers sees no clear vaccine effect yet; at the moment I'm thinking continuation of the current gradual decline for a couple of weeks, with the potential for the start of a vaccine-related dive bomb from around the 20 Feburary. If that happens it will mercifully allow schools to reopen on the 8th as planned.
Our case level is now lower than its November (2nd lockdown) peak. On current trends, in around two weeks we will reach the lowest case level seen since September.
How the fuck have India defeated it with that culture and infrastructure of theirs (no offence Diljeet)? I'm on fucking tilt here.
Some bloke just got rumbled by the track and trace hereGov pulled no punches and revealed a trip to Saigon to meet a "friend" and also go for a nice relaxing massage.
Good luck explaining that to the missus.

Another negative test for me today. Easy, this.

I've never even needed a test.
Asymptomatic murder ftw
Annoyingly, my parents haven't went for their jab yet. They have the letters but they're waiting on a GP invite for my mam.
The end of Covid will mean the end of these:
I'm watching it now, it's pure art.
It starts with a glorious fuck off.
Jesus, stick it front and centre of the British Museum's COVID exhibition![]()
